Proof why Martin is the best!

"Any fan of Martin Lawrence will like this DVD. I am a huge Martin fan and had to have this when I saw it.There are twelve chapters to this DVD and each one of them will give you tons of laughter.Relatively little is immune from Martin's humor. The subjects range from relationships to childhood to Jeffery Dahmer.For anyone who remembers his appearance on Saturday Night Live (the one he got in HUGE trouble with NBC and I believe banned from SNL and perhaps the network for) some of the material should be familiar to you.The front of the DVD packaging uses the words "uncut", "unrated" and "unbelievably funny". All are true.If you are easily offended by profanity and comedy about sexual situations I would recommend passing up this DVD. However, if neither of those bother you and you love laughing hysterically, "You So Crazy" is definitely something you should add to your DVD collection.This material is proof why Martin Lawrence is the best! It is just as funny now as it was in 1993 and as it will be in 2013."

An Old HBO Special

"I can remember watching the "uncut" rendition on an HBO special years ago and I could not believe (at the time) the opinions and stance Martin Lawrence took on various subjects of the day. You might say I was "shocked" not appalled but shocked that Lawrence chose to incorporate many sensitive subjects into his routine: An incredibly talented comic.

Personally, I feel Chris Rock saw this performance and borrowed aspects of Lawrence's techniques and subjects. So what! They are both great comics when they are original and averse to appealing to the morons by simplifying their routines.

I give this DVD a three star rating because some censoring idiot "cut" many scenes from the original HBO Cable TV special and thereby cut the integrity of the original comedic salvo Lawrence proffered."

A must see!

"A very funny video! I would have to say that Mr. Lawrence is by far the funniest "crude" comic out on the scene today. His jokes may not play to the starched collar crowd, but, lets face it, that crowd doesn't get humor anyway. It is raw, brash, and brilliant. A don't miss for those of you who want to be entertained AND shocked."

FANTASTIC VIDEO

"I saw this comedy show at the cinema in London a few years ago, and I have spoken of it ever since. I have been trying to find the video ever since for my private collection. Martin's forte is stand up comedy. Go Martin, I'm about to order this video from Amazon, and can't wait to invite my friends around to watch it with me.If you want to laugh harder than you ever have don't miss "You so Crazy".Enjoy people"

"I remember this performance. Way back, i was hanging out in shop and we were all listening to the cassette tape on a mini boom box. needless to say we laughed so hard we got kicked out of class. I'm tellin you I couldn't stop listening to this. Fast forward a few years when [I could not afford cable] and HBO re-runs it. That made my week. I think his first performance was better than the second, runtelldat, but both are amazing. martin brings comedy with heart, passion, and with a "you know what I'm talkin 'bout" feel. Martin, if you out there, keep battling and keep up the great standup, The OG of Def Comedy Jam. But man, will somebody explain to me how he did that show all in leather? One luv."
